Como que no fue muy activo este fin de semana y aun así tiene unas muy buenas fotografías, te felicito.
As it was not very active this weekend and still has some very good pictures, I congratulate you.
The wind was calm this morning. It was very active at the bird feeders this morning. I saw 4 Northern Cardinals and 2 Blue Jays. These were birds I did not see during the weekend.
Have a great week!
Steem on,
Mike
Fotografiar aves amigo @etcmike definitivamente es una fuente inagotable de imágenes para creadores de contenido.
Photographing birds @etcmike is definitely an inexhaustible source of images for content creators.
Debe ser difícil escoger las mejores fotos, ya que todas son bastante buenas.
Sometimes it is easy to pick out the good photographs. I look for the photographs where there is no blurring do to wind or simply the bird moving. But I do take a lot of photographs to get the ones I like.
Have a great week!
Steem on,
Mike
